Hollywood is a 2002 Indian Kannada science fiction film written by Upendra and directed by Dinesh Babu.
The film was shot entirely in Gold Coast, Australia with few supporting actors and a monkey named Lakshmi, voiced by Ramesh Bhat.
The film was expected to begin production May or June of 2001 with Jyothika initially considered to be the heroine.
[7] Manisha Koirala and model Kanishka were also selected before Australian actress Felicity was finally chosen.
[10] A critic from Viggy wrote "There are only two things deserve a mention - dialogs of the monkey Seenu (hired from Chenai) that makes you really laugh and exotic locations.
With a combination of good professionals like Upendra, Ramu and Dinesh Babu, it could have been a far superior film.
[11] A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote "Mr Ramu the proud producer of Kannada filmdom – you have given a lavish film without working on the script and scintillating elements.
[12] Reviewing the Telugu dubbed version, The Hindu wrote "The story never matches the technical aspect of the film.
And the subject hinges to the single point of Surendra always doubting Manisha's relations with his brother Upendra.
